HMRC has information on where Pay As You Earn (PAYE) schemes are registered, though not on the workplaces of the employer. Many large employers will have various workplaces across the UK and will operate multiple PAYE schemes, or outsource their payroll to a payroll provider based in a different location.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 27/09/2019 13:58:55 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/02/2017 answer text <p>The apprenticeship levy will apply across the UK and will be collected from employers on a UK wide basis. The expected yield for the apprenticeship levy is published in table C.5 (‘Current Receipts’) in the Autumn Statement 2016 document. This is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/571559/autumn_statement_2016_web.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/571559/autumn_statement_2016_web.pdf</a></p><p> </p><p>It is not possible to produce a robust estimate of the amount of the levy which will be paid by employers in the devolved administrations or by region. This is because the PAYE system, through which employers will pay the levy, does not record the place of work of individuals and many large employers have employees working across the UK.</p><p> </p><p>Skills policy is devolved and the UK government has agreed to provide the devolved administrations with a population share of the Office for Budget Responsibility’s apprenticeship levy forecast (published in March 2016). The funding agreement has been published here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-government-agrees-apprenticeship-levy-funding-deal-with-devolved-administrations" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-government-agrees-apprenticeship-levy-funding-deal-with-devolved-administrations</a>.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 06/02/2017 15:18:31 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
